Advanced Drafting

Here are some of my full sized furniture drawings.

Front view of step table
Top view of step table
This is the actual step table from the first 2 drawings.  I did not actually build it.  We used this one to take measurements for our drawing.  I added it to help you visualize what is going on with all those lines.
Drum table. Top view overlaps the side view to save space on the page.
Front view of blanket chest.  Here's a link with a small picture of what the blanket chest looks like.
Side view of blanket chest.  People always wonder how we fit full size furniture on a sheet of paper.  One trick is used here.  I used break lines down the middle because the middle is just boring straight lines.  All the interesting stuff I need to know is on the edges.  You can also see a center line of the front view on the left side of the photo.  The chest is symmetrical, so we only draw half, because the other half is redundant.
Desk on table side view.  This drawing took the longest to do.  It seemed super complicated because there is so much going on, but it is actually fairly straight forward.  There are just lots of parts to keep track of (check out the stock list below).   Here are some pictures of a similar desk.  Same basic idea, but he changed the bottom by removing the cabriole legs and adding a full set of drawers.

Ridiculously long stock list.  You can see the pendant from the bottom of the desk hanging down above it.

This is the slat back chair.  It was complicated because of the angles.
